Bath's Two Tunnels Race offers runners an unforgettable journey through the city’s rich history and stunning landscapes. This unique race includes two historic railway tunnels that were once sealed off but are now open for all to enjoy, thanks to a dedicated restoration effort by local groups over seven years. The Devonshire Tunnel, at 408 meters long, and the Combe Down Tunnel, stretching an impressive 1672 meters beneath Bath’s streets, provide runners with a rare underground experience. Both tunnels are well-lit and feature smooth surfaces, making them ideal for those looking to explore hidden corners of this UNESCO World Heritage site. The race calendar boasts events suitable for all levels of fitness and interest: from the ultra marathon challenge to family-friendly 5km runs, there’s something for everyone. With a variety of distances including marathons, half-marathons, relays, and even colorful fun races like the Colourburst event, participants can choose an option that suits their preferences. The race starts and finishes at Brickfields Park in central Bath, which offers not only picturesque views but also facilities such as a playground for children. After crossing the finish line, runners are invited to relax with friends and family on this vibrant green space or enjoy a picnic amidst the park’s charming surroundings. By participating in these races, runners contribute directly to maintaining the Two Tunnels through Sustrans (formerly known as Walk, Wheel & Cycle Trust), which has raised over £30,000 so far. This event not only celebrates Bath's heritage but also supports ongoing efforts to preserve and enhance this unique urban pathway for future generations. Join us in celebrating the transformation of these historic tunnels into a vibrant community space that connects runners with the beauty and history of one of England’s most cherished cities.
